Uploaded four pictures of the Marcha. In the 1939 full Main Street shot the vertical of the Marcha is visible in the right background. The 1939 closeup has Safeway on the left and a portion of the Marcha visible. The 1942 shot from a different vantage shows the new Marcha building facade. The final shot it of the Marcha as retail, The Emporium.
Per my source when I created this site, it wasn’t always adult despite the two year discrepancy in the date. Interested to see what you found in the Newsday archives.
The Glen Oaks was an add-on to the existing shopping center, not part of the original; part of Century’s recognition of the potential of the vast area north of Jericho Turnpike. They also envisioned a stand alone theater on the north side of Hillside Avenue, west of the intersection with Braddock Avenue. I remember the large sign which announced this was the site of the newest link to the chain of Century Theaters. Never happened.
If they don’t repurpose the now closed Walmart location they will have to build by the Carmans Road entrance to the complex. Just came back from the mall and saw no signage about a new theater.
lazyspices – since you know which building housed the Blue Moon perhaps you could indicate the street and address on Cinema Treasures. With that information we might be able to get more information.
Knew about the Lynbrook (they still haven’t begun the demolition of the old theater) but another at Sunrise Mall? From the scope of it I would think a new building would be required rather than using space in the existing mall.

Uploaded photo as antiques mall.
Found and uploaded an image.
Current photo shows the Cactus is no more and it is now the Greer Iron Works. When did that happen? Status needs to be changed.
Uploaded a 1915 photo of the entrance complete with the resident band.
Uploaded a bunch of photos circa 1929 found on Flikrriver attributed to CharlotteZoe.

theatrefan it would be nice if you could share those items.
Joe, shame Film Daily didn’t have a photo since no images of the Bellaire in the day seem to be available.

Uploaded a 1950s postcard image of Main Street, Tarkio with the theater on the left.
Thomas, there is no entry for the Rebel on Cinema Treasures. Could it, perhaps, be one on the site but without a reference to an alternate name?

Operated by William Edmondson, his mother and sister for a period of time in the 1940s.

Status update?
Tom, you mentioned streetcar advertising when you set this up. Do you have access to photos of same?
There is a 2/6/2004 comment re the stream but it doesn’t site a specific reference.
And a spiffy new facade it is.
Uploaded an additional photo, one showing the full vertical.
According to Bivouac June 1991 was the beginning of the end. I’ve uploaded some of his FLICKR images of the Lyn.
Early and mid 1960s ads show late run double bills of major pictures, e.g. The Singing Nun with The Thrill of it all.
Uploaded a 1982 picture from the American Classic Images series.
Re my earlier comment. Went to a play at Studio 54 the other night, traditional seating restored.
Uploaded 1934 ad.
